Versliste
Who can discern his errors?Clear thou me from hidden faults.
Keep back thy servant also {Or, from the proud}from presumptuous sins;Let them not have dominion over me:Then shall I be upright,And I shall be clear from great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heartBe acceptable in thy sight,O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.
For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David.O Jehovah, our Lord,How excellent is thy name in all the earth,Who hast set thy glory {Or, above}upon the heavens!
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength,Because of thine adversaries,That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him?And the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him but little lower than {Or, the angels Hebrew: Elohim.}God,And crownest him with glory and honor.
Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;Thou hast put all things under his feet:
All sheep and oxen,Yea, and the beasts of the field,
The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
O Jehovah, our Lord,How excellent is thy name in all the earth!
What is man, that thou art mindful of him?And the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.The heavens declare the glory of God;And the firmament showeth his handiwork.
Day unto day uttereth speech,And night unto night showeth knowledge.
There is no speech nor language;Their voice is not heard.
Their line is gone out through all the earth,And their words to the end of the world.In them hath he set a {Hebrew: tent.}tabernacle for the sun,
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.
His going forth is from the end of the heavens,And his circuit unto the ends of it;And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul:The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.
The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart:The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever:The ordinances of Jehovah are true, and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold;Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned:In keeping them there is great reward.
Who can discern his errors?Clear thou me from hidden faults.
Keep back thy servant also {Or, from the proud}from presumptuous sins;Let them not have dominion over me:Then shall I be upright,And I shall be clear from great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heartBe acceptable in thy sight,O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.
I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear;But now mine eye seeth thee:
Wherefore I {Or, loathe my words}abhor myself,And repent in dust and ashes.
And when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
And Simon answered and said, Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing: but at thy word I will let down the nets.
And when they had done this, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes; and their nets were breaking;
and they beckoned unto their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.
And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
Search me, O God, and know my heart:Try me, and know my thoughts;
And see if there be any {Or, way of pain}wicked way in me,And lead me in the way everlasting.
For I know nothing against myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that {Or, examineth}judgeth me is the Lord.
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any one shall sin {Or, through error}unwittingly, in any of the things which Jehovah hath commanded not to be done, and shall do any one of them:
And if the whole congregation of Israel err, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which Jehovah hath commanded not to be done, and are guilty;
And when ye shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses,
even all that Jehovah hath commanded you by Moses, from the day that Jehovah gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations;
then it shall be, if it be done {Or, in error}unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt-offering, for a sweet savor unto Jehovah, with the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof, according to the ordinance, and one he-goat for a sin-offering.
And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their oblation, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah, and their sin-offering before Jehovah, for their error:
and all the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly.
And if one person sin unwittingly, then he shall offer a she-goat a year old for a sin-offering.
And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that erreth, when he sinneth unwittingly, before Jehovah, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.
Ye shall have one law for him that doeth aught unwittingly, for him that is home-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.
and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was {Or, the Christ Compare Hebrews 11:26.}Christ.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of Jehovah, {See 2 Samuel 22:1-51.}who spake unto Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: and he said,I love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;My God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge;My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised:So shall I be saved from mine enemies.
The cords of death compassed me,And the floods of {Hebrew: Belial.}ungodliness made me afraid.
The cords of Sheol were round about me;The snares of death came upon me.
In my distress I called upon Jehovah,And cried unto my God:He heard my voice out of his temple,And my cry before him came into his ears.
Then the earth shook and trembled;The foundations also of the mountains quakedAnd were shaken, because he was wroth.
There went up a smoke {Or, in his wrath}out of his nostrils,And fire out of his mouth devoured:Coals were kindled by it.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down;And thick darkness was under his feet.
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly;Yea, he soared upon the wings of the wind.
He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion round about him,Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed,Hailstones and coals of fire.
Jehovah also thundered in the heavens,And the Most High uttered his voice,Hailstones and coals of fire.
And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; {Or, And he shot out lightnings}Yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them.
Then the channels of waters appeared,And the foundations of the world were laid bare,At thy rebuke, O Jehovah,At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
He sent from on high, he took me;He drew me out of {Or, great}many waters.
He delivered me from my strong enemy,And from them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
They came upon me in the day of my calamity;But Jehovah was my stay.
He brought me forth also into a large place;He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness;According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
For I have kept the ways of Jehovah,And have not wickedly departed from my God.
For all his ordinances were before me,And I put not away his statutes from me.
I was also perfect with him,And I kept myself from mine iniquity.
Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness,According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful;With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;
With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure;And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.
For thou wilt save the afflicted people;But the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down.
For thou wilt light my lamp:Jehovah my God will lighten my darkness.
For by thee I run {Or, through}upon a troop;And by my God do I leap over a wall.
As for God, his way is perfect:The word of Jehovah is tried;He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him.
For who is God, save Jehovah?And who is a rock, besides our God,
The God that girdeth me with strength,And maketh my way perfect?
He maketh my feet like hinds' feet:And setteth me upon my high places.
He teacheth my hands to war;So that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation;And thy right hand hath holden me up,And thy {Or, condescension}gentleness hath made me great.
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me,And my {Hebrew: ankles.}feet have not slipped.
I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them;Neither will I turn again till they are consumed.
I will smite them through, so that they shall not be able to rise:They shall fall under my feet.
For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle:Thou hast {Hebrew: caused to bow.}subdued under me those that rose up against me.
Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me,That I might cut off them that hate me.
They cried, but there was none to save;Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.
Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind;I did {Hebrew: empty.}cast them out as the mire of the streets.
Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people;Thou {Or, wilt make}hast made me the head of the nations:A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me;The foreigners shall {Or, yield feigned obedience Hebrew: lie.}submit themselves unto me.
The foreigners shall fade away,And shall come trembling out of their close places.
Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock;And exalted be the God of my salvation,
Even the God that executeth vengeance for me,And subdueth peoples under me.
He rescueth me from mine enemies;Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me;Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the nations,And will sing praises unto thy name.
Great {Hebrew: salvations.}deliverance giveth he to his king,And showeth lovingkindness to his anointed,To David and to his seed, for evermore.
Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;My God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge;My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of Jehovah, {See 2 Samuel 22:1-51.}who spake unto Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: and he said,I love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heartBe acceptable in thy sight,O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.
A Psalm of David. Maschil.Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,Whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity,And in whose spirit there is no guile.
When I kept silence, my bones wasted awayThrough my {Hebrew: roaring.}groaning all the day long.
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:My moisture was changed {Or, into the}as with the drought of summer. [Selah
I acknowledged my sin unto thee,And mine iniquity did I not hide:I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah;And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. [Selah
For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee {Or, in the time of finding out sin}in a time when thou mayest be found:Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.
Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble;Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. [Selah
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.
Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding;Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, {Or, That they come not near}Else they will not come near unto thee.
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about.
Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous;And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
